<player>? I believe I have something for you here. Let me see. Yes, here we are. A letter arrived a few days ago asking all Town Marshals to keep an eye out for one of the Gifted matching your description. Seems Geleon the Wise in Kion is looking for you. The letter said that it was of the greatest importance and that time was short so you may wish to hurry. Good day to you!

+

+

----

+

+

<player>, there you are! I was worried that my letter might not reach you in time. You see, word has reached me that you have become a Master Scholar, renowned across the Empire. You have proven that you are worthy of my greatest secret; the making of the Master Scroll.

+

+

Why now? Well, as my teacher once told me, knowledge hoarded is knowledge lost. If I tell no one, then how will anyone ever remember me when I am gone? I warn you, however, that this is no easy task and may prove to be one of your greatest challenges. Shall we continue?

+

+

Excellent. May Merrasat's Hand guide you in the difficult days ahead. The creation of the Master Scroll formula is no small feat for it requires the rarest of resources and tools. My stocks have run out and my last stylus was worn down to a nub. Therefore, you will need to collect them for me and this, you see, is your challenge.

+

+

Dark Essence, gleaned from the corpses of Shadow Wisps, will be your first task. I have never seen one, but I have heard rumors of sightings within the caverns known as Dralnok's Doom.

+

+

Well done, <player>. I do not believe I could willingly descend into the darkness of those caverns so it is fortunate I have you to aid me.

+

+

The next component of the formula may be more difficult to acquire for it was once in the possession of an ancient scholar and wizard known as Atta-nuk. Long ago he occupied a tower somewhere south of Harro, but I do not know if the tower even remains to this day and Atta-nuk himself is sure to have perished long ago. Acquire his Stylus, <player>, for it alone possesses the power to create your formula.

+

+

You found the tower? What of the stylus? Intact, excellent! Atta-nuk himself has Risen and serves the Withered Aegis? That is most unfortunate news. In his day, Atta-nuk was one of the pre-eminent scholars and contributed much to our craft. It is sad to see how far he has fallen. Nevertheless, his stylus remained intact and for that we should both be grateful.

+

+

Now, the final component is Golden Papyrus Sheets. You must locate the plants and create six sheets for me. Gold-stemmed Papyrus Plants were once located near the shores of the Eastern Deadlands, but I have not heard mention of them in quite a few years. I believe that Vorel-kai in Delgarath sells the formula for making the sheets. Go now and good luck.

+

+

Geleon tells you, Yes, yes, give me a moment and I will create the formula for you. *Geleon takes the Stylus, dips it into the Dark Essence, and begins writing what appears to be runes on the papyrus sheets. He mutters beneath his breath, perhaps casting a spell of some sort. At last he finishes and speaks a word, the essence flares golden then silver and finally fades into a muted black.*
